The pyramid shaped, card reading, 3D-glasses supporting, mark I Sega Master System, the definitive version of Sega's 8-bit console, can be grabbed in one rather hefty and impressive bundle via this Sega Master SystemeBay auction.

Among the included games you'll find After Burner, Fantasy Zone, Alien Syndrome, Y's, Rampage, Lord of the Sword, Ghostbusters, Space Harrier, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars and Maze Hunter 3-D.

It's the Amiga edition of the game and it comes complete in its original box with 3.5" disks, map, manual, Sierra catalog and a couple leaflets. Seller ships worldwide.

Also a Burnin' Rubber cartridge to show to people just how clever the evolved CPC+ technology was.
